Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts boneless
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder or fresh garlic chopped/mashed
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 stick margarine or 1/2 cup butter
- 1 tablespoon oregano
- 4 tablespoons of lemon juice or lime juice
- 1 tablespoon salt
Instructions
- Combine 1 tsp garlic powder or minced fresh garlic, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp oregano in a small bowl.
- Pat dry the chicken breasts and generously season both sides with the spice mixture.
- Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat until melted and sizzling.
- Cook the seasoned chicken in the skillet for about 5 minutes per side, or until they are thoroughly cooked and have a golden-brown exterior.
- Squeeze fresh lemon or lime juice over the chicken in the skillet and cook for an additional minute to infuse the flavors.
- Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet, let it rest for a few minutes to lock in juices, then slice as desired.
- Serve your delicious dish hot, accompanied by your preferred side dishes like rice, vegetables, or salad.
Notes
- For a creamier sauce, add some cream cheese or sour cream to the skillet after removing the chicken. Let it melt and mix with the pan juices for a rich and indulgent addition.
- If you're feeling adventurous, try adding different herbs or spices to your spice mixture. Experiment with paprika, thyme, or cumin for unique flavor profiles.
- To ensure the chicken cooks evenly, make sure to pound the breasts to an even thickness before seasoning and cooking.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the chicken. Leave enough space between each breast for optimal browning and cooking.
- For a more intense garlic flavor, add extra fresh minced garlic or garlic powder to your spice mixture.
